   There are better people that I to discuss this, but...
   
   The Beach was a portrait lens as I recall. 16" makes it an 8x10 lens.

   The series B is supposed to be a sharp lens.

   Try looking here for Wollensak lens catalogs. It may have the information you need: http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info.html
   
   I hope it helps.

   It's been discussed here and on the forum at lfphoto.info. Try a search, and you should turn up one or two threads.
   
   Beach was a portrait photographer in New York state. The lens has a rear element etched in concentric circles, like a Duto filter.
   
   I think Jim Galli has one.
